Larkin or PLD

[TheDard]

Between Dylan Larkin and Pierre Luc Dubois. Which of these 2 do you think or believe has the higher upside?
Who will have the better season for this year in goals wise and overall pts?

Which of these 2 players would you rather have on your team?

In just a points only I prefer Larkin. I think PLD's upside is closer to Larkin's floor.

If it were any other kind of league my answer would likely change.

[Pengwin7]

Larkin for me, because he's a lock for big minutes: line1 & PP1 time.
WPG has two fairly solid PP units... so the scoring is a little more distributed.
And now, also, a very solid third line with the rising play of Lowry/Copp.

Larkin even if his team is miserable.

Hey! You're miserable.

Lol lol

Hey I chose D-Boss didn’t I?

They’ll get better. They were the class for so long, it takes some time to get back there.

[Pashowretty]

Larkin is my choice too. Top line, PP1, huge ice time. PLD is a great player, but I prefer Larkin's upside in fantasy.

[TheDard]

I leaning Larkin myself, but wanted to hear some others thoughts on the players.

Now would Huberdeau straight up for Larkin be a strong enough offer to potentially make a trade happen?

[agentzero]

I can’t tell on which side of this you are, but Huberdeau is a vastly superior player and asset to Larkin. Not in the same class at all.

I own Huberdeau.
The same GM owns both Larkin and PLD.

Agree that Huberdeau is superior to Larkin; right now. But you need to pay up sometimes to get the talent you want.
Just looking to see if Hubie for Larkin is a good deal or overpayment.

[PenguinHunter]

I want to say PLD comes into Winnipeg and just lights it up.
But I cannot see this happening because of the talent in the top 6.
And also, how well the 3rd line is producing - Lowry has as many goals as all of last year already.

So I would say go with the clear cut top line and top PP player in Larkin.

I'd bet on PLD getting a spot on that WPG PP and take advantage of the high scoring Canadian Division. Not sure if he will produce more but in a VS situation I don't think Larkin's upside is so high for this season that I wouldn't bet on Dubois.

All this said, I'm not trading Huberdeau for either guy, not even close. Completely irrational.

The reason I mentioned Huberdeau. As this GM has previously asked about him.
Also if I am to go after Larkin would like to make a strong offer.

I have already offered Dvorak, Gusev and a 2021 3rd round pick for PLD. Which hasn't really gone anywhere. As I believe he is wanting to trade PLD to another GM.

Please keep Huberdeau.
